Forget 312 Batteries: Why You Should Start Thinking About Rechargeable

Batteries are so 2000! Everything in the modern day, whether it’s your phone, your shaver, toothbrush or even your car, is rechargeable. This is because battery technology has come a very long way since the early 2000s and 2010s. It’s now possible for just about anything to be recharged, if it has a battery. It not only helps the environment and gives you more freedom. When it comes to your hearing aids, having to keep track of your battery life and always having an extra pair with you, is tedious at best and annoying at worst. It’s no longer something that you have to put up with because you can now find rechargeable hearing aids that give you more choice, more freedom and less worry.

How Rechargeable Hearing Aids Work

Prepare to be bored, because there’s not a whole lot to it. Recharging hearing aids are recommended by any of our audiologist team because they are simple to use and don’t prevent you from being at your best. For example, just like you would wireless earbuds, you can keep your hearing aids in a little battery case. So, when you put them inside, they automatically begin recharging. The case itself can be charged up and kept with you. So, you can take your hearing aids out when you go to sleep and put them in your charger. And they will be fully charged by the time you wake up in the morning ready to begin your day. However, if you feel that you would be more comfortable with two sets of hearing aids, you can wear one of them and keep the other pair inside the charge case. That way, when the ones you are wearing run out of juice, you can take the ones in the charger out and wear them while putting the flat hearing aids in the charger. This is something that our customers love to know more about, because it means they are free to travel long distances, go on business trips, family vacations and feel totally at home.

At-Home and Portable Options

We recommend you speak with an audiologist about your hearing aids and lifestyle choices. We have found that when it comes to modern hearing aids that we offer customers, and the range of chargers on the market, there is nothing that can’t be mixed and matched. For example, if you are an older person and find that you don’t have much need for portability, but you would like to move on from batteries, an at-home charger is best. These are bulkier but charge hearing aids faster. They can sit on your nightstand and have your hearing aids ready for you by the rise of dawn. If you are maybe younger and you do find that between work, holidays, travel and going to sports events and music concerts, you need something more portable, then we have you covered also. We recommend a range of portable chargers which will suit all types of hearing aids. Whether you have an in-the-canal (ITC), in-the-ear (ITE) or behind-the-ear (BTE) type of hearing aid, we recommend chargers that will suit your needs.

Getting Fitted Is the First Step

And now, we come onto the hearing aids themselves. Unfortunately, you cannot take a hearing aid that uses batteries and convert it into a rechargeable hearing aid. We do, however, have the most modern cutting-edge hearing aids on the market. The first step is to get fitted. So come to us and speak with an audiologist that can help you choose the right kind of hearing aid. You may need an ITC hearing aid that can last for eight hours or more, be water-resistant, lightweight, match your skin tone and easy to clean. You may be able to tick one or two of these boxes by yourself but finding the perfect hearing aid is something we can definitely help you with. We also recommend chargers that pair up with hearing aids. We also consider your price range and what you can afford on a sustainable basis. There are so many options you have, the first step you have to take is to get fitted for a modern hearing aid with us.
